SCHOLARSHIPS
MCKAY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The McKay Scholarship Program for Students with Disabilities provided nearly 30,000 Florida students with special needs the opportunity to attend a participating private school during the 2020-21 school year. The McKay Scholarship Program also offers parents public school choice. A parent of an eligible special needs student may choose to transfer the student to another public school.
STEP UP FOR STUDENTS PROGRAM
Step Up For Students was created to help alleviate the enormous educational
challenges faced by children in Florida. The program provides Tax Credit Scholarships to students in K-12 who come from low-income families. These scholarships allow the students to consider a private school or an out-of-district public school that may better suit their individual needs, an option that is already available to families of greater
financial means. Qualifications are frequently changing so check the website for more information.
